For this purpose, the fourth frame element 32 is connected to the first and third frame elements 12, 30 perpendicular to an assembly plane.The frame elements 12, 16, 30, 32 are pushed into one another perpendicular to a mounting plane via the at least one corner connection unit 18, 18', 18", 18‴, so that a statically determined system is created. The bed edging device 10 can then be filled in a further process step 46. List of reference symbols
